Question: It has been established that the Shape Factor beta ( beta = b / d ) for a beam is to be 0

It has been established that the Shape Factor \beta (\beta = b/d) for a beam is to be 0.45.
Given that the beam has to resist a design factored moment of M*=88 KN-m, that
fc =25 MPa, that fy =500 MPa and that the maximum depth of the beam must not
exceed 450 mm, establish the geometry of the beam (width and depth) and the
required area of steel with a cover from the centroid of the steel equal to 40 mm.
Select the re-bars and include the two checks required for a satisfactory design.
